Chapter 137: Zhengde ascends the throne
The emperor in the Qianqing Palace has a deep relationship between father and son, Zhang Zhijie braved the cold wind and began to inspect the palace ban, these days of drills have not been in vain, the soldiers of the Shenji Battalion are all in order, and there is no violation of discipline!
It was an extraordinary period, Zhang Zhijie took Qi Lianwu and two deputy generals, did not dare to slack off, and began to inspect every half an hour.
The night was bitterly cold, wearing cold armor, and after this inspection, the whole person was frozen, and at this time they were roasting the fire, although it was early in the morning, but they did not feel sleepy at all!
In the Qianqing Palace, Emperor Hongzhi sometimes fell into a coma and sometimes woke up. At this time, it was a long time since she woke up, and the queen called softly, but there was still no movement.
The heartbeat of everyone in the Qianqing Palace began to accelerate, and Wang Yue saw that there was no movement on the emperor's chest, and said nervously: "Imperial Doctor?!" ”
The Tai Hospital was nervously stepping forward to try it, his face turned snow-white, and he knelt on the ground with a puff and said in a trembling voice: "Your Majesty, the dragon is in the sky!" ”
When all the eunuchs and palace maids in the Qianqing Palace heard this, their hearts trembled, and they all fell to their knees!
Then the palace maids, eunuchs, and guards outside the main hall all fell to their knees in an uproar!
Zhang Zhijie and they were roasting the fire, in the silent night, a bell rang and pierced the silent night sky, Zhang Zhijie and they were stunned at first, and then walked out with a big change in face.
The bells rang one after another, shaking the heartstrings of countless people in the silent winter night! Countless palace maids and eunuchs heard the bell, no matter what they were doing, they all trembled and fell to their knees!
Zhang Zhijie looked around, and the palace maids, guards, and eunuchs all knelt down in the direction of Qianqing Palace when they heard the bell!
Although he had already prepared in his heart, Zhang Zhijie's face was still a little pale, his legs were weak, and he knelt down in the direction of Qianqing Palace!
The bell rang throughout the capital, and in this cold winter night, countless people heard the bell and understood.
A generation of heroes, Emperor Hongzhi, the dragon is in the sky!
One era is coming to an end, and another is about to begin!
All the officials on duty at the official office at night heard the bell and walked out of the yamen one after another, kneeling on the ground in the direction of the Qianqing Palace!
Heavy bells rang in the night sky of the capital, one after another, a total of ninety-nine eighty-one sounds, representing the death of the emperor!
It wasn't until the bell was over that everyone stood up with their legs limp!
The Cabinet University Scholars and the officials of the Ministry of Rites walked out of the duty room and began to mourn the Emperor Daxing. In the Qianqing Palace, Emperor Daxing was bathed in his face, bent his hair, changed his longevity clothes, and set up memorial objects in front of the corpse.
The next day, hundreds of officials dressed in plain clothes gathered in the palace, and the eunuch Wang Yue issued the edict of the emperor of Daxing!
The solemn and cumbersome etiquette was carried out step by step, but these did not have anything to do with Zhang Zhijie, and Zhang Zhijie did not understand any of this.
The scholars and officials of the Ministry of Rites were busy guiding Zhu Houzhao to proceed step by step according to the etiquette, and Zhu Houzhao looked like a puppet.
Zhang Zhijie couldn't stand this solemn and heavy atmosphere, sniffled, and began to patrol!
Zhang Zhijie was now on the city gate, and when he saw the mourning messenger dressed in plain clothes, he immediately planted a white flag and began to leave Beijing along the royal road to mourn!
Princes, county kings, princesses, princesses, county lords, and civil and military officials who were divided into foreign places all wept and mourned in the local court.
The civil and military personnel in Beijing and the women of the civil and military rank above the third grade should be dressed in mourning clothes for three consecutive days, twice in the morning and evening, from the Xihua Gate to the Sishan Gate to cry.
The national funeral was solemnly carried out, Zhang Zhijie was ordered to lead the first emperor to lead the troops to help defend the palace ban, so far eventful, he could only strengthen the inspection, and did not dare to slack off, let alone leave the palace and go home! It's just that I saw my wife from afar during the crying spirit!
Three days later, hundreds of officials persuaded him to advance, and Zhu Houzhao officially ascended the throne as the emperor, and changed the next year to the first year of Zhengde!
There was calm inside and outside the capital, and Zhu Houzhao successfully completed the transfer of rights!
In the past few days, everyone wants to make up in front of Zhu Houzhao, and Zhang Zhijie is too lazy to squeeze forward!
Gu Dayong came in a hurry, and said urgently: "Little Marquis, the emperor has summoned you!" Zhang Zhijie was stunned when he heard this, yes, Zhu Houzhao is already the emperor!
Zhang Zhijie followed Gu Dayong to Qianqing Palace in a hurry, and when he saw Zhu Houzhao, whose face was a little haggard, Zhang Zhijie was about to kneel down and salute.
Zhu Houzhao grabbed Zhang Zhijie's arm and said, "Why are you like this?" I've had a headache from kneeling these days! ”
Supported by Zhu Houzhao, Zhang Zhijie couldn't kneel down, and said helplessly: "Your Majesty, the ceremony cannot be abolished!" ”
Liu Jin persuaded on the side: "Your Majesty, you can't call me anymore!" ”
Zhu Houzhao waved his hand helplessly and said: "I, then I will make a will, and Zhang Zhijie will not kneel when he sees me in the future!" ”
Zhang Zhijie said helplessly: "Your Majesty, this is not in accordance with the rules, and you will be impeached by the imperial history!" ”
Zhu Houzhao pouted and said: "You weren't afraid before, but now you're afraid!" Why haven't I seen you these days? ”
Zhang Zhijie explained: "Your Majesty has been so busy these days, I haven't come to Your Majesty, and I've been inspecting the palace ban!" ”
Zhu Houzhao sighed and said, "Ignore them!" It's better for a few of you, I haven't thanked you yet! Thanks to you for persuading me that day! I talked a lot with my father, and my father was very relieved and walked peacefully! Thank you! ”
Zhang Zhijie said: "This is what a minister should do!" ”
As soon as he said it, a little eunuch reported that the college student Xie Qian invited His Majesty to the Renzhi Palace! Zhang Zhijie understood that it must be a matter of stopping the spirit, so Zhang Zhijie retired!
Without the emperor's will, Zhang Zhijie could only lead the troops to garrison in the palace all the time. After the emperor ascended the throne, martial law had been lifted in Jingshi, but slaughter was banned in January, and marriage and vocal music were banned in March, and it was still deserted in Jingshi!
It stands to reason that the emperor has successfully ascended the throne, even if Zhang Zhijie's task is completed, he should move his troops out of the city, what is the matter with leading the troops to stay in the palace all the time?
Zhang Zhijie couldn't go to the emperor by himself and say, what, look, you have successfully taken over, should I go back?
In the end, Liu Jian couldn't stand it anymore, what happened to a foreign minister leading troops in the palace all the time? Liu Jianzuo asked the emperor to let Zhang Zhijie lead the Shenji camp back to the camp!
As a result, the emperor did not allow it, saying that I had just ascended the throne, and in order to prevent the palace ban from being unstable, the Shenji Battalion temporarily stayed in the palace to help prevent the palace ban!
Zhang Zhijie had to stay in the palace again, and later Zhang Zhijie finally understood that Zhu Houzhao just wanted to leave Zhang Zhijie in the palace to chat with him!
It was not until January later that the Zigong Palace was introduced, and the Daxing Emperor was buried in Tailing. The three scholars in the cabinet couldn't stand it anymore, and they jointly petitioned and argued on the basis of reason. Only then did Zhu Houzhao make an order to allow the Shenji Battalion to leave the palace and return to the camp!
Zhang Zhijie led the Shenji Battalion to leave the capital and march towards Nanyuan, representing that the capital has finally returned to normal!
Zhang Zhijie was riding a horse and walking on the street, and there was a burst of firecrackers, Zhang Zhijie reacted that it had been closed in recent years!
It is about to be the first year of Zhengde, and a new era is coming!
